Vincentian Family

July 9 is the feast day of one of our Vincentian Saints, Saint Francis Regis Clet, C.M. He was canonized by Pope Saint John Paul II in 2000.

Sister Mª Jesús, DC, shares her missionary experience in Senegal, where she lives among the poorest people with simplicity, closeness and dedication, responding to their needs in health, education and inclusion. Her testimony reflects how the Vincentian charism is incarnated in everyday life.

The Rule of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a spiritual guide rooted in the founders’ experience, focused more on holiness and love than rigid procedures. It shapes members to serve the poor with compassion and integrity, always led by God’s call.

John Berry, National President of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul USA, is urging U.S. lawmakers to reject proposed cuts to Medicaid and SNAP that could harm millions of vulnerable Americans. He warns that the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” would deepen poverty and undermine the nation’s moral responsibility to care for the poor.
